Sex Therapist serving Arlington, VA
LGBTQIA+, ENM/CNM/Polyamory, kink, and sex work affirming
It can feel like intimacy comes easily to everyone else, leaving you with the painful sense that you’re missing out. Maybe you’ve been coping with erectile dysfunction and now you find yourself avoiding intimacy out of fear that you won’t be able to perform. Or perhaps you’re a survivor of sexual trauma and you experience fear, panic, or emotional numbness when you try to be intimate. Maybe you’re in a relationship where everything else feels perfect, but the sexual aspect is leaving you disconnected and unsure of how to move forward.
Tell me if any of these sound familiar:
You feel so disconnected with your partner that intimacy feels more like a chore than a source of joy.
You wish you could enjoy sex, but pelvic pain has led you to avoid intimacy altogether.
You’re ashamed of how often you engage in certain sexual behaviors, but it’s hard to stop.
You’re worried that exploring your kinks or interests might change how your partner sees you.
You feel like you’re letting your partner down because you don’t feel the same level of desire.
It's hard to open up about something so personal, especially when it seems like everyone around you has a perfect sex life. Most of us are taught that we aren’t supposed to talk about sex, so we aren’t equipped to communicate about it when problems arise. I’m here to tell you it’s not just you, and you are deserving of wellness in this part of your life. I’m happy to be able to provide sex therapy to residents of Arlington, VA. Learn more about sex therapy and how it can help you achieve a fulfilling sex life.
Struggling with sexual problems can be a lonely experience.

Why choose an online sex therapist?
Online therapy, or teletherapy, is designed to meet you where you are, literally. Although it does not take place in a traditional therapy office, you can still access professional therapeutic services from the privacy and comfort of your home. Online therapy removes geographical barriers and allows you to expand your search throughout the state for the perfect fit. This is especially helpful for sexual minorities who may have a difficult time finding a knowledgeable therapist. Online therapy means you don’t have to resort to identity concealment. Instead, you can connect with a therapist who is kink-aware, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and sex-worker allied.
